In this February episode of Thriving With ADHD, we’re going back to basics - unpacking what ADHD really is, how it’s diagnosed, what’s happening in the ADHD brain, and what actually helps.
Joining Nada is Whitney Kost, PA-C, physician assistant at Animo Sano Psychiatry, who brings clinical insight and practical experience from working closely with adults navigating ADHD and other mental health challenges.
Together, they explore:
• What ADHD diagnostic criteria actually involve
• The difference between ADD and ADHD
• Types of ADHD and how they show up in daily life
• Symptom overlap with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders
• Common everyday struggles adults report
• What’s happening neurologically in the ADHD brain
• Treatment options - medication, therapy, coaching, and lifestyle supports
• Persistent myths and misconceptions about ADHD
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, supporting someone with ADHD, or simply looking for a clearer understanding, this episode offers grounded, reassuring education without overwhelm.
